Default executioner vs 589's vs swampwiches

which tires are lighter, the executioner or the ITP 589's or swampwitches, or bi tri claws? which do better in the mud? do these tires dig in the mud or float?

swampwitch is lightest then 589 then executioner executioner has the best traction of the 3 best rimguard on the market 589s-execs will outlast about any tire out there as far as diggin if there is a bottom execs will be better they have deeper tread 589-execs are a very close match my opinion of swampwitchs is they suck no offense to anyone

i heard that the executioners are made small, like some guy ordered 26's and they were 25's, any information on these? also would you go with 12's in the back and 10's in the front, 12's all the way around?

also how are the bi/tri claws? are they a 6 ply tire with hard lugs that dont wear fast? how are they on grassy dirt trails, on dirt roads, through the woods around rocks, and in the mud?

i would get ITP C series either the 7's or the 5's. Ive seen alot of people with 27" tires and wondering if they needed some sort of offset wheels or anything so they dont hit anything when you turn.

what sizes are stock, 25's or 26's? i would think the 27's would fit since that is the only height the bi/tri claws are 27". ive seen guys running them, but just need to know of the wheels were offset at all to avoid any kind of rubbing issues with turning.

can you post pics of yours, the grizzly's have more fender clearance than the kodiak's i believe

the itp wheels will work perfect with tires up to 28in with no other mods will have good clearance stock tires are 25in aftermarket wheels all have more offset to accomadate bigger tires i no longer have the kodiak now bf 750i you would be happy with any of these tires except swampwitchs my opinion get execus or bi-tris i am going to buy a set of 27in executioners shortly

yeah i have it narrowed down to the bi tri's and the executioners.

do you know if the bi tri's have hard lugs so they dont wear down fast? my buddies have the 589's and they ride everywhere, even on pavement and they still look brand new, so its down to the executioners and the bi/tri's. i like t hem both. do you know the depth of the lugs on both?

both sets of tires are just like 589s good rubber compound will last a long time i think execs will last longer execs have 1.5in lug bis 1.12 lug tris 1.25 lug execs are a few pounds heavier they dont work good in sand claws work good everywhere
